Randolph-Macon College Professor Jack Trammell, the Democrat who secured the nomination in the district held by the newly defeated House Minority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), released a statement Tuesday that said Virginians are “hungry for radical change” after “dysfunctional and reckless politics.”
Cantor lost to tea party candidate David Brat, who also teaches at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland.
The statement was released by the Democratic Party of Virginia.
Read the full statement below:
I am honored and humbled to accept the Democratic nomination in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District. I am running because I believe Virginians are hungry for a radical change from the dysfunctional and reckless politics being practiced by those in Congress – and the results of tonight’s primary election are the proof. In the coming months, I look forward to a spirited campaign where can talk about the issues that matter to our community, and how we can get Congress re-focused on the priorities that truly matter to us.

2016 may become a repeat of 1964 with cruz playing the part (and very poorly at that) of Goldwater. . .
Good luck the clowns have nicely set this one up for you.
Professor, I hope and pray that you’re up for a helluva summer and fall, since there are many of us all over the country who want to see you elected as a freshman Congressman to replace Eric the Witch.
G’luck!
Gonna be a little awkward at the Faculty Club for a few months.
Shave and be victorious!!
